Wright to direct Scott Pilgrim's Precious Little Life

The Hollywood Reporter states that Edgar Wright, who we all know for his work on Shaun of the Dead, is in negotiations with Universal to direct Scott Pilgrim's Precious Little Life.

"Scott Pilgrim's Precious Little Life" tells the story of a young slacker who meets the woman of his dreams but finds that he can win her only by first battling and defeating her seven evil ex-boyfriends. The project is based on the graphic novel "Scott Pilgrim Volume 1: Scott Pilgrim's Precious Little Life," written by Bryan Lee O'Malley. The project is out to writers.
